The Singers' Retreat will focus o­n music from the Renaissance Period. The exact repertoire will be posted here when it becomes available.

2008's Spring Retreat focused o­n the music of Thomas Tallis (c.1505 - 1585). Bill remarked that this was o­ne of his most rewarding Retreats. "We have not often had such a good group of musicians!"
